Richmond Hill, Ont. (June 12, 2014) – CJGA Junior Tour members will be playing in St.Andrews on June 14 – 15 for the first and only tournament in Manitoba of the season. Juniors will be competing in hopes to take home the title but also will have the chance to qualify for three different international and national events that will take place later in the season.

Built in 1989, Larters at St. Andrews was originally part of the Larter farm, situated in the RM of St. Andrews. The eighteen-hole layout rambles through a distinctive prairie river-lot setting, from densely wooded areas to wide open meadows. The course is the first in Manitoba to have a Scottish links flavour combined with a unique prairie woodlot setting. The tract also features picturesque views of the Red River during play.
